A synthetic peptide (CKS-17) homologous to a highly conserved region of the retroviral transmembrane protein p15E was tested for its effect on receptor expression on monocytes. The CKS-17 amino acid sequence is present in several retroviruses including human T-cell lymphotropic virus types I and II and human immunodeficiency virus. The CKS-17 peptide has been previously shown to inhibit monocyte superoxide production, natural killer cell activity, polyclonal B-cell activation, and monocyte-mediated killing by inactivation of interleukin-1. In this study, we demonstrated that the anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody OKT4 binds strongly in vitro to CKS-17-treated human blood monocytes, whereas other antibodies tested were not reactive. This observed binding was the result of direct interaction of OKT4 antibody with the CKS-17 peptide. Moreover, a partial homology was found in amino acid sequence analysis of the CD4 epitope and the CKS-17 peptide.
